About

Keen Engineer Assistant with seven years’ experience working on major tunnelling projects (Crossrail C305, Bank Station Capacity Upgrade and London Power Tunnel 2) in London. With my strong technical and communication skills, I am able to communicate effectively with audiences in diverse environments and clearly present complex information to non-specialised audiences. Both my academic and employment experiences have allowed me to develop excellent research and report writing skills, which I would be keen to utilize in my next role.
